Hello all,
yesterday i installed slackware 10.2. Had 10.0 previously.
As usual i was editing the xorg.conf file. In 10.0 i had "pc101" and "us" for my keyboard. Did the same for 10.2. But initially it didn't worked and mouse too wasn't working.
Then i first went for mouse:
MouseMan and /dev/ttyS0
mouse worked and surprisingly keyboard too.
But when i woke up today morning...i found my keyboard wasn't working.
It has 107 keys. TVS Gold keyboard.
The strange most problem is that when i boot to text (init 3) keyboard works there if i keep on hitting the keys.
But if i leave the keyboard for a while it stops working. It just freezes.
And is not at all working in X.
Already tried the pc101-pc105.
All the h/w connection are perfect as my keyboard is working properly in Windows XP.
I was googling... in a thread i found a user got success after stopping the "gpm" service.
Does that really helped ???
regards.
Edit: i've issues with DMA too. Its "off". But that should not be the problem for keyboard.
